Shoulder Pain
Are you suffering from pain in the shoulder? The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, granting us the freedom to move and reach as we please. Unfortunately, the shoulder joint is surrounded by nerves, tendons, and other tissues which can all be irritated and cause pain. When tendons, muscles, or ligaments around the joint stretch or tear, it can cause pain directly in the shoulder and can even cause pain nearby or in your neck.
As an extremely mobile joint that plays a central role in the movement of your arm, we understand how tough it can be when you experience pain in a joint which is used for nearly all daily activities. Shoulder pain often strikes in individuals with hobbies such as tennis, gardening, golf, throwing, cleaning, and many others.
Signs and symptoms
It is easy to notice the moment you are experiencing any irritation or pain in your shoulder, but it is difficult to pinpoint the cause of your pain simply because there are many problems that can trigger it. If you are experiencing constant shoulder pain, inability to move your shoulder, pain in lifting things, or any other shoulder discomfort, a Physiotherapist at Physiotherapy Professionals Parramatta can analyze your shoulder joint and symptoms to help relieve your pain and help you get back to your normal routine. Common injuries we see at the clinic include but not limited to:
- Dislocation

How can Physiotherapy help Shoulder Pain?
Physiotherapists will diagnose your cause of pain
During your first consultation, your Physiotherapist will start by asking you about your history, discuss your symptoms, perform an orthopedic, neurological, physical exam, analyze the state and movement of your shoulder, and maybe even ask you to get a scan through your GP depending on the type of injury you have sustained.
Customize a treatment plan
Once your injury is diagnosed, your Physiotherapist will perform a non-invasive treatment using minimal force and gentle pressure on your shoulder joint to increase range of motion, reduce pain, and improve your shoulder’s overall function. Your Physiotherapist may even give you stretches and strengthening exercises to correct the muscle imbalance which may be causing your symptoms.
Monitor your recovery progress
Depending on the severity of your shoulder injury, your customized treatment plan may vary in the number of required follow-up visits and recommended exercises. The good news is that Physiotherapy Professionals Parramatta will help you feel better and you’ll be on the road to enjoying a higher quality of life.
